Quinlan: The People’s Life Fund is the escrow
account that was established so that people who are refusing to pay all or
part of their taxes can put that money in escrow, and the interest from that
is granted each year to groups that are doing the kind of work that we feel
the government should be doing. The kind of work that’s being cut right now.
While the military is allowed to grow, our schools and social services are
being cut.

Erica Weiland is on the administrative committee for the
[NWTRCC]
national office. She says redirecting even a small part of what she considers
a “military tax” has rewards that outweigh any fines or possible prison time.

amount of money, resources, and time that could be used building up our
communities and supporting communities around the world — who need that so
much more than they need to be bombed and shot at.
